Mind-Blowing Home in Unbelievably Beautiful Setting
I cannot emphasize enough the beauty and outstanding appeal of this utterly brilliant, unique property - you will never find anything else that even comes close to this absolute diamond.
Featuring an incredible stone home built by one of the Albany's finest stonemasons for himself and his family, full of quality, detail, and character everywhere you look – stone, wood, and fresh space. The grounds are equally unbelievable with majestic natural bush surrounding mind-boggling Jurassic gardens, themselves surrounding lush green lawns, all bisected by a creek with natural swimming hole for those hot summer days. If privacy, nature, character, and beauty are not enough, you also have excellent shed space, and access to the banks of King River for a fish or to launch a boat or kayak. This stunning home and setting is within walking distance of the local tavern, and less than ten minutes drive to thriving Albany.
You can only love this property. One of the very finest stone homes you will see is set on two levels, both taking in inspirational outlooks to surrounding gardens and bush. Glorious open living spaces downstairs are spacious but cosy, with full height ceilings punctuated by historical roof trusses recycled from the original Albany Train depot, creating spaces that are beautiful and stylish, that embrace your body and soul. Natural granite is complemented by more timber in the jarrah kitchen cabinetry and benchtops, and recycled windows from a local church. The vibe here is akin to an English country pub, with the tiny rooms replaced by Australian large and open spaces. Family bedrooms on the lower level are all generous, while the upstairs master suite features a beautiful ensuite and big private deck and superb views over the gardens. Outside, the home features a wide 3.2m all-round verandah, perfect for quiet relaxation while you listen to the birds, or for the most raucous party.
The gardens are incredible, a lush oasis amongst the natural bush. Featuring abundant massive ferns and palms, a riotous array of colour and texture, granite outcrops and the creek and pool, this is art on a massive scale and has been the setting of open gardens and weddings for family and friends. The gardens are masterful in design, and although predominantly focused on style and beauty, have been created specifically with ease of management in mind.
